Demand Letter Analytics

If you have received a letter claiming that you infringed a patent, you have received a “demand letter.” These letters usually demand payment to prevent or to settle a lawsuit. This Demand Letter Analytics tool will help inform your decision about how to respond.

The White House and the United States Patent & Trademark Office are implementing an Executive Action to provide public information to those facing demand letters. As part of this effort, the Patent & Trademark Office invited Lex Machina to apply its expertise with legal data and analytics to help you better understand your demand letter.

To use this tool, simply enter information from your letter in the fields below and upload your letter. Lex Machina will then instantly generate a report containing information about the company, law firm, and patents in your letter, along with a list of law firms, attorneys, and lawsuit defendants who have previously opposed demands from the company in your letter.
